The different picture properties available from the ribbon toolbar are now correctly updated when picture selection changes, and pictures inserted from the toolbar are now correctly placed where the cursor is located. Ribbon tabs are now optimized when selecting a picture or a table within the topic editor: they could flicker and loose focus when moving the cursor in various parts of a topic. HelpNDoc’s project analyzer is a wonderful assistant which helps produce the most perfect documentation: it provides project statistics, list of hyperlinks, library items and keywords, spelling mistakes… It can now also list all anchors created anywhere in the project. Enhanced project analyzer: list and locate all anchors in your documentation projects Thankfully, the newly released HelpNDoc 6.9 includes a very powerful bar code and QR code creator: technical writers can easily and rapidly encode complex information as machine-readable images, and let their audience use bar code readers or smart-phones to decrypt them! HelpNDoc can currently create the following bar code formats: EAN-8, EAN-13, MSI, QR Code, UPC-A and UPC-E.įurthermore, HelpNDoc treats bar codes and QR codes as reusable library items, meaning that they can be shared between topics and rapidly modified from the project’s central library: any changes will be automatically replicated wherever they are used. This can be cumbersome for some documentation formats (such as printed Word and PDF documents, eBooks…) as it can lead to multi-line, hardly-readable and cryptic content that the end-user need to understand or type without mistakes. It is not uncommon for technical writers to have to share lengthy URLs or alpha-numeric data in their user manuals.
